I'll be honest Frank and you know my views on this.
The needless posting of movements out of Bal should stop unless of course it's done as an actual log .
I mean of course you going to get, say a PC-9, orbiting the area, their based there.
And the "does anyone know what the 139 was doing.... etc etc" , can't be answered because A. Civvies won't know and B. serving personnel aren't really allowed say .
Anyhoo, I'll shut up now, I'm not getting embroiled with a forum war. Have seen this snowball on other forums to the point of people falling out (you know what forum I'm talking about Frank
)

Crap, I typed out a huge reply and deleted it by accident.
Anyhoo, Gnat, I agree with you on the constant reporting of movements.
I was referring to the forum being called the site . The website is fine as its heavily moderated, the forum is an annex to the site so maybe I was being too finicky.
What other forums have done is have a movements section that has strict rules as to what is posted and how but I think Frank would need a team of mods for this.
BTW: I'm not a spotter.

Seems like this site is developing into a crappy, spotters forum
Your contradicting yourself there! This 'is' a forum ! The site is , WorldAirPics , you know, the bit where the photos of aircraft are? So what would you rather see on the "Forums"?
With regards to policing the forums , Frank can only do so much, while annoying at times, certain posts are still innocent and mean no malice etc.

Was G-PSNI down this way?
Wasn't into Bal anyhow. The black and yellow one I seen had come from N7/city west direction.
Maybe it was on the pad at Citywest Hotel?

I've come across this machine transiting to the rigs a few times (not too close thank god!)
On the point of 135's, a couple of months ago I'm full sure I saw a British Police 135 transiting north along the M50.
Maybe the aul Mk1 eyeballs playing tricks but 99% certain it was black with yellow also.
Any info?

I like it, it's different ! Hopefully they'll fly them at low level when the seasons over.
Not too far off the Tucs original training scheme .

Looks like the inevitable may happen soon!
Probably the "Iranian patrol boat fired on carrier" scenario will kick it off.....

I spent an hour last night looking at all the related videos on YouTube !
Man I wish I could go back there with my modern camera.
(and the summers did look better!! Blazing sun in all of them??)
